Well I think I may have matched up some part numbers!

Honda Australia part numbers (I only asked about 2004 model):


  • Front brake pads part number is 45022SEAJ01 and priced at $157.75

  • Rear brake pads part number is 43022SV4G22 and priced at $160.15
ACURA TSX part numbers:

  • Front brake pads part number is 45022-SEA-J00 (2004) or 45022-SEA-J11 (2005)

  • Rear brake pads part number is 43022-SV4-G22 (2004) or 43022-S84-A50 (2005)

Apparently Honda changed the pad material on the 2005 TSX model hence difference numbers but you can use the 2005 pads on the 2003/04 (according to the TSX forum). Same probably applies in Australia but I didn't check 05 pad numbers.

So I have a perfect match for the rears - but a slightly different number for the fronts. I think it is just pad material and it will still fit perfectly.

Heck for $80US F&R I am happy to punt on it being fine. At least I have rears confirmed. Hopefully this helps people out there before they pay $320 at a Honda dealer in Aus!


By the way - still interested in thoughts on those Hawk pads!
